Hi! Recently I made an account for paypal while UNDER 18 years of age (From U.S.). I completely understand that this was against Paypal's guidelines, but I have funds stuck in my account (around $200) and no way of transferring this money to a card or bank as it gives me errors. Is there anyway to access this money, or do I simply have to wait until I turn 18?
(Made account under 18 and have funds stuck in account without a linked bank or debit card)

Contact customer services and explain the situation to them. They’ll likely ban the account (if they haven’t already done so) and may have you wait 180 days before you can withdraw.

Click “Message Us” or “Call Us” option on the bottom.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
